Seems incorrect. It has been in the repository from early on and don't recall it ever being dropped. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/SRPMS/repoview/apt.html > Of course, Rahul has given a variety of technical reasons (which > are Geek to me :-), and says that apt and synaptic are now > available again in Fedora, and that yum is much improved.

Might want to grab the live cd and take a look. Fedora 9 is also the only OS to provide a easy utility to convert live cd's to boot able USB's for both Windows and Linux in a non-destructive way while also having data persistence that supports settings as well as software changes. Essentially a portable OS in your USB disk. Try it.
